$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '
')SAM Group, Société Générale and Dow Jones Indexes are launching the World Bioenergy Index (BIOX), because bioenergy is the fastest growing energy sector. This new index comprises the world's biggest companies in the field of bioenergy and gives investors the chance to benefit from this rapidly growing market. The French investment bank Société Générale is issueing the first BIOX certificates on the Bourse de Paris.

The World Bioenergy Index tracks the performance of the world's biggest publicly traded bioenergy companies that are involved in the production of biogas, biomass, ethanol, biodiesel, biohydrogen and biofuels technologies and systems (combined heat and power, biomass co-firing etc...). Its composition is revised twice a year and each trimester its base-value is re-calculated on the basis of the capitalisation of the companies that make up the index. The BIOX currently tracks 9 values and is calculated in real time by Dow Jones Indexes.


Only the big players like Abengoa and ADM are listed.
The Beginning is Near!

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', 'H')i lorenzo. long time no argue :)

In addition to BIOX folks need to always keep in mind the all-important Energy-Return Index (ERI) which is 0 for all the various biofuels.


ERI? What, what, what?
